Ways to Spread Christmas Joy

Top 5 Christmas Activities for Fun

Christmas is nearing and we are ready to hang up the mistletoe, hang up the stockings, cook lots of food for the family, and give presents to loved ones. Christmas is a wonderful time to spend with loved ones and to make more memories than the year before. For this Christmas, I have some fun ideas on how to have fun with the family and how to make this year's Christmas the absolute best yet.

One idea is "Kiss or Dance". The concept of the game is to hang up the mistletoe and gather everyone in groups of two. When everyone is paired up, the game can begin. When each group is called under the mistletoe, the pair must either kiss or dance. It is an ice breaker to start the lively party. This game has no limits and can be played as many times as pleased. Another idea is a Just Dance party with everyone. All you have to do is hook up the system and pop in a disc. Everyone can take turns dancing at least one time. Dancing is when you let everything go and enjoy the music. Hook that system up this Christmas and have a wonderful time with the family.

Another is the famous Secret Santa gift exchange. Prior to the party, everyone must draw a name from someone and they have to buy a gift for the person they picked. It doesn't have to be an expensive gift; anything will do for the holidays. It is a holiday favorite and everyone receives a little something to spread holiday cheer. Another idea is Game Day. Before everyone shows up to the party, remind them to bring a game of sorts. With everyone bringing games, there will many board games to choose from. It is another idea that will spread the laughter and the joy around the family.

One last idea is Christmas Caroling with the family. Everyone can go around the tree or even go around town and sing Christmas songs to the public, wherever will work. It is one way to spread joy and cheer not only for your family, but everyone else's families as well. Christmas is about cheer and happiness. Therefore it is ideal that we go around this Christmas and spread more joy and cheer everywhere we go. I hope these ideas will help your parties be a blast for you and your family. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy Holidays!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
